Tristan und Isolde Wagner,Richard

LOC was formed in the summer of 2020 to give fellow musicians and international opera singers who had lost their work to the Covid pandemic the opportunity to keep performing and to give music lovers a first class treat after a summer devoid of live concerts.
Following the critically acclaimed and sold-out inaugural production of Tristan und Isolde in 2020, the company went on to perform a semi-staged chamber arrangement of Die Walküre in July 2021 to a delighted audience of Wagner opera lovers.

The semi-staged Tristan und Isolde will feature a world-class cast of singers and musical direction by Peter Selwyn, who has assisted on Bayreuth and Royal Opera House Covent Garden productions of Der Ring des Nibelungen.

“I have rarely known any performance, even of this opera, to carry such an overwhelming emotional payload… If this is a taste of their quality, I want to see more of their work, soon.”  (Wagner News)
“An accomplished and moving company debut” (Opera Magazine)
